Sunland North January 2025 Newsletter

The January 2025 newsletter is now available on the website. Yes, this is being posted just before midnight of 2025.

This issue has suggestions for New Year’s resolutions (one, at least), and a list of things you can do to help make the neighborhood a more livable, fun, and thriving community. There is also a recipe for deer repellent, in case you want to discourage unannounced trimming of your bushes and flowers.

We also have some short summaries of recent accomplishments and announcements of future projects. We also have a new feature profiling three recent arrivals to our community,

Wishing everyone a splendid new year.

Sunland North July 2024 Newsletter

The July 2024 newsletter is now available on the website. Kathy Gross did her usual outstanding job.

Among other things, you will find information on a proposed restatement of the Sunland Division 17 Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which is the foundation of our homeowners association. It is important that all Sunland North members review this revision, and be prepared to vote on it for our Annual Member Meeting in September.
